Chapter 420 — Lying in Wait
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
From the look of it, the man had come for him. But who had sent him? Li Cihua? Clearly impossible. He had already lost a late Yellow-rank expert at Wei Zhao's hands; sending an early Yellow-rank one now would be nothing short of delivering him to his death. Wei Zhao trusted that Li Cihua was not quite that foolish.
Zhong Fabai? That seemed unlikely too. Brother Black Panther had already been sent to prison by Wei Zhao.
Jin Gubang? The only possibility Wei Zhao could think of was him... But the next moment, Wei Zhao was surprised to find that he had guessed wrong.
The person who sprang out behind the early Yellow-rank expert was not Jin Gubang, but Zou Ruoming!
And when Zou Ruoming saw Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi in the car, he was so stunned that he nearly burst with joy!
He recognized Wei Zhao's van, but he could not remember the license plate number. Earlier, Uncle Yan, with his sharp eyes, had spotted Wei Zhao's car approaching and leapt out first. It was only now that Zou Ruoming realized the person his father had told him to intercept was Wei Zhao!
In that instant, Zou Ruoming was like a cosmos erupting, his whole body brimming with excitement and elation. He had been worrying over how to deal with Wei Zhao, fantasizing about getting Uncle Yan to help, though he knew it was all but impossible. And now, unexpectedly, it had become reality!
"Haha, Wei Zhao? It's actually you?" Zou Ruoming burst into laughter. "Didn't see that coming, did you? Bet you never thought you'd see this day, huh, classmate Wei Zhao? I told you not to put on airs with me, and this time I'm going to kill you! Damn you, competing with me for Tang Zhi — who the hell do you think you are! Leave Tang Zhi here today, and I'll let you live!"
Wei Zhao stared at Zou Ruoming in astonishment. Was this fool really that naive? He'd brought along a single Yellow-rank expert and thought himself invincible? Never mind that the man was only at the early Yellow rank — even against a late Yellow-rank, Wei Zhao had the strength to put up a fight!
Ever since he had cultivated the first layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to its grand completion, Wei Zhao's strength had rivaled that of a late Yellow-rank expert. He could even punch above his own tier to trade blows with someone at the early Mystic rank.
"Have you been eating too many stupid pills or what?" Wei Zhao looked at Zou Ruoming the way one might look at an idiot. "Even an idiot wouldn't be as bad as you. You're not just an ordinary idiot — you're a world-class idiot! That idiot girl is ten thousand times smarter than you."
"Heh..." Tang Zhi of course knew who the "idiot girl" in Wei Zhao's mouth was. Hearing him say it now, she couldn't help but laugh, and the sight left Zou Ruoming dumbstruck! His resolve to make Tang Zhi his own burned all the fiercer — what a waste it was to leave a prize like her to Wei Zhao!
"Idiot girl?" Zou Ruoming had no idea who the idiot girl was, but he knew full well it was no compliment. He ground his teeth and spat, "Wei Zhao, nothing you say matters now. Since you refuse to know what's good for you, I'll have to stop being polite. Uncle Yan, finish him! Leave that girl for me!"
Zou Ruoming was arguably twisting his father's words into his own order — Zou Tiandi had only told him to teach Wei Zhao a lesson, but Zou Ruoming had changed it to finishing Wei Zhao off.
"Smack!" Wei Zhao slapped Zou Ruoming across the face again. "I already told you to quit scheming after Tang Zhi. Are you forgetful, or just deaf?"
Zou Ruoming had never expected Wei Zhao to be so brazen as to slap him right in front of Uncle Yan. Stinging with pain, he howled, "Uncle Yan, make your move, finish him for me!"
